Archbishop Dolan [6 pts]Link 1 - [1 pt] Blog postLink 2 - [5 pts] A blogger for Religion Dispatches magazine blasts Dolan over his letter to Rep. Ryan. Passage: "In the terms of the bishops’ pelvic-zone orthodoxy, Ryan is pure. He scorns same-sex marriage and wants the government, not pregnant women, to have control of pregnancies. That marks Ryan out for tepid handling and adulatory congratulations for even knowing about Catholic social teaching and Jesus’ mission to be “good news to the poor.” Dolan’s letter to the man who wants to kill Medicare and starve the poor while glutting the rich was dripping with praise, using words like “kind” and noble to describe Ryan’s work. "
